Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed residential layout and domestic aesthetic would significantly harm the rural character of Ludwell Valley Park and conflict with development plan policies protecting the Green Infrastructure of Exeter.
The limited social, economic and environmental benefits of the conversion would not outweigh the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area
Plan policies cited: Policy CP16 of the Exeter City Council Core Strategy, Policy H2 of the Exeter Local Plan First Review, Policy LS1 of the Exeter Local Plan First Review, Policy DG1 of the Exeter Local Plan First Review, Policy DG4 of the Exeter Local Plan First Review
